Most engines have lift brackets on them. If not, a piece of angle iron with a hole drilled in both sides, using a head bolt in one hole, and the chain in the other is a much better idea.


BTW. A model "A" has a CAST IRON cylinder head......
And I still wouldn't pull even that engine like that.

I be afraid you pull the threads out of spark plug hole
